I think I will use my blog as a diary. I decided I better keep one to track Marissa's symptoms.

Today was such a beautiful day. She assists her dance teacher on Sundays and Mondays with the younger kids. She was so excited to go. She pulled her hair back into a pony tail. I haven't seen her face for so long! She got dressed and ate her lunch. All very happy. I had to go to school to decorate a friend's classroom for her 40th birthday (that poor sucker!) and Marissa had to be ready to go before I left. She didn't argue or fuss about anything. This is the daughter I remember.


Her mood lifted me out of my dark place. I decorated Ellie's room, went to Lego League, went back to school to write lesson plans, then picked Marissa up at 7:00 pm. Lots accomplished and feeling good.

The best thing is..... Marissa is still happy.
